Sergio, you are the man. Thank you for coming out on a Sunday evening on seriously short notice to help humanely move the hive that took over our patio. I cannot tell you how much we appreciate you and the excellent service you provided!!! We will recommend you highly to all, THANK YOU!!! read more

I am very happy with the service. I had bees in my chimney which were humanely removed by Sergio. Prompt service, attention to detail and resonable price. Couldn't have asked for more. read more

Contacted them on Mother's Day - Sunday ! The owner picked up immediately and was very responsive. Told him we have about 500 + bees swarming in our courtyard back to an old hive of our neighbors house - I wanted to see if there was anything I could do to help prevent - he said not really but he would be happy to send it a technician today - Sunday! Mother's Day ! I told him I would let the owner know ( he was out of town) . As they had gotten it treated already and I couldn't confirm if it was with this company. Long story short - it wasn't .. but he did a drive by to check on it and make sure all was ok . Bees are still there and if the previous company isn't able to remove them I will def have them call AA beekeeper! Wonderful customer service! thank you ! read more

AA Beekeeper was great! Came out right away and safely relocated hive.

Our phone call was immediately answered and we received same day service. The price was very competitive and extremely reasonable. Very professional. Highly recommend read more

I don't know how good a job they can do or how reasonable their prices are. What I do know is that I had an appointment this past Monday for an estimate. I waited and waited and finally, around 8 pm, I got a call saying that they wouldn't be out and we would have to reschedule. I rescheduled for this Thursday, between 4 and 6. Another no show and no call. I finally called them at 6:30 and was told he would not be able to make it, but they could reschedule me for Monday or Tuesday. Really? It's too bad. They have lots of good reviews. read more

We couldn't be happier with Sergio's services. He was timely, professional, reasonably priced and helped us get rid of our bee problem quickly and with a smile! Definitely recommend his services! read more

We called AA Beekeeper to have a swarm that moved into our roof removed. Ed had Sergio here within a couple hours and removed the bees. We made the mistake of not having the roof vents bee proofed and 4 weeks later 2 new swarms moved it. Sergio came back and took care of the swarms and then did the bee proofing for us. In this busy swarm season he was here 3 times between emergencies to get the job done. Listen when they advise to bee proof your home! read more

We discovered bees building a hive in a vent on Saturday and called a couple different companies for bee removal. AA Beekeeper was the only only one who responded and could come out that weekend. Sergio came on Sunday and was very friendly and informative. He explained the whole process, answered all my questions, and even took pictures of the hive for us. Would definitely recommend! read more

Sergio came out a couple days ago and did a great job removing the bees and sealing the gaps in the wall/roof so they can't bet back in again. He gave me a couple options for removal and patiently explained both processes and costs. I still see a few bees flying around the roof today, but Sergio had warned me about that, too. Thanks for answering all my questions and doing a great job! read more

I called Sergio at 6pm on Thursday and he came out by 7:30am Friday morning. He was really nice and professional and explained everything to us. He took care of everything right then and there and gave a fair price. Thank you so much! read more

I don't like bees, thankfully Sergio does and has removed bees safely from my house, twice!! He knows his stuff and is happy to pass along info. I learned a lot the first time so luckily caught them before the full colony set up camp. Sergio was able to come the same day and safely get the bees out both times. No damage to my home and no bee stings for my kiddo or dogs. Highly recommended!! read more

Very friendly and professional. Gave us a good deal - Very fair price. I thought the technician, Sergio L., was extremely professional, proficient, and explained everything in detail, while giving me all the options available for our bee hive removal. I have a large property and I am sure bees will be back, and when they come back I will call AA Bee Removal services again, I really liked their service. A+! read more

We emailed AA Beekeeper regarding the bee hive that was evidently in our wall. Ed promptly called us and said he could have someone out at 8 the next morning. Right at 8 he showed up, got the bees to leave, and the price was very reasonable. The work is warrantied, they are very knowledgeable, friendly and reliable. Thanks so much!! read more

We found a few hundred bees in our garage in the early evening on a Sunday and called AABeekeeper. We had serious concerns given that our 2 year old's room sits over the garage where the bees had collected. Sergio came the same day even thought the bees had departed within a couple hours of our initial call. He assessed the rental we are in and offered suggestions about preventing further issue. He also explained how the scouts search for new locations and offerred next steps in the event that the bees returned the next day to establish a new hive. In the end, even with the weekend and night time call, there was no charge for the inspection since removal was not required. Highly recommended! Great information and a pleasure to work with. read more

Me and my family love in El Cajon and have felt with bees in the past and they don't bother us. This morning we woke up to THOUSANDS of bees on the side of the house, swarming around our tree. We also have a he where a window is being put into the bathroom so the bees we coming into the walls and up through the tub. I have three small children and was instantly nervous. I made one call after another and everyone I spoke with wanted to charge at least 450! I couldnt afford that asp I made a call and spoke with Sergio. I explained our situation and he actually helped me understand that this was not a regular hive but a swarm that is traveling and is probably just resting there due to the size. He said give it a day, possibly two and they should leave on their own and to block the window. He said if needed to come out that it would be at a much more affordable cost. All in all by the end of the call I felt a lot more comfortable, he was definitely knowledgeable because 5 minutes after the call was over, the swarm had moved on! Thanks sergio, I know who to call first next time! read more

Fast, affordable, bee-friendly, and got the job done - and nice people on top of all that! They were able to come out within an hour of my call. Highly recommend! read more

I called AA Beekeeper this morning after my failed attempt to eradicate a massive swarm of bees in my side yard next to the fence. The swarm had grown out of control over the past few weeks. Turns out, AA Beekeeper pulled out a bunch of hives hidden in a tire that was buried in the dirt underneath a jade plant. AA Beekeeper was super responsive and handle their business. I highly recommend them. Thank you! read more

Satisfied with the service I received from John and Johnny of Bee Friendly. They were professional and on-time. Recommended for bee hive removal from hard-to-reach areas. read more

They came out within an hour. Sergio was very nice, friendly and helpful. Will call again with any bee problems in the future.

I had a great experience with this company. They responded on the same day, found where the bees were entering my house and removed them. Would use them again if needed. Highly recommend! read more

Although we had some issues with showing up when they said they would, once they arrived everything went well. Really nice people that did great work. Thanks Alicia, Sergio, and Rene! read more

If there is a higher grade than A+, AA Beekeeper would receive this grade from us. We had been out of town for a few days and upon return, it was noticed by our neighbors that bees were outside around our upstairs bedroom window. We could not see any nests, but could see them going into the stucco, and thought OH NO, they're in the attic. We called several bee places, and some were quoting about the same prices for removal, but by far, AA Beekeeper's was our best find and had the best price by far. Victor came out on Saturday, and after inspecting, and making me feel more comfortable, he decided to go through the roof for the bee removal. When Victor opened the roof, of course all of the bees flew out, but then he noticed that there were five honeycombs stacked together which he also removed. Victor then patched the holes that the bees were using to get in. All in all, everything has worked to perfection with no problems, and should the bees return, we can call and they would be right out. We have since received follow-up calls from Victor, Ed, and Robert, to make sure that our bee problems were properly handled to our satisfaction. Again, this company is awesome, very knowledgeable with answers to our questions, very friendly, and would be highly recommended by us. read more

Found this company on Yelp because we needed immediate removal of bees that had entered our home. Everyone we dealt with at the company was prompt, professional, and polite. We will definitely use them again and would refer them 100%! read more

Definitely 5 stars and they didn't even need to remove the bees! I had a small swarm take up residence in a storage box. I contacted several companies to discuss removal. One wasn't accepting new business at the time (too busy) and one was nearly 3x their advertised price since I was far from their home base but sill in their "service area" (which doesn't seem quite right). Sergio responded to my request quickly, at the price I expected and scheduled me for the same day. He also provided some helpful advice. The bee swarm relocated later in the day so I called to cancel the technician's visit, which was no problem. Based on Sergio's advice, I moved the storage box so they wouldn't come back and they have not. On top of that Sergio followed up a few days later. If I ever need bee removal services again I'll definitely call Sergio. read more

Sergio came and removed a wasps nest from my home. Thank you so much. I called at 10:45 a.m. and he was at my house, same day, to remove the nest at 11:45 a.m. I would recommend them to everyone. Sergio was polite, helpful and checked the rest of my house to make sure there weren't any other nests hiding. Call them if you have a problem They are fantastic! read more

This company lies and is not bee friendly and they do not save them. My girlfriend witnessed them beat around an exposed have until it broke. They lied to her and again on the phone. Use an actual beekeeper who don't kill them. read more

From the start this company was five stars. We called on a Sunday morning because there were bees coming into our house through our chimney. When I called AA Beekeeper, I spoke with Ed who was very helpful and told me how to close up my fireplace and that he would send Sergio out shortly. Sergio arrived within two hours and had the issue completely resolved within two hours after that. Sergio took time to answer all of our questions and showed us pictures before and after the treatment. If we ever need this service again we will definitely call AA Beekeeper, and we will recommend them to our family and friends. Thank you again Ed and Sergio! read more

Sergio and Rene from AA-Beekeeper not only took care of the rather large beehive in our chimney, but were very patient and helpful with all my questions throughout the process. Even when the fireplace was sealed, we ended up with some bees crawling upstairs. I have a little one and you know how paranoid parents can get. Because I have a whole house fan, they offered to check my attic just in case. Sergio, Rene, thank you very much for everything from start to finish. Very appreciated! read more

A month or so ago I was in the back yard when I noticed a swarm of thousands of bees buzzing around the yard. I ran into the house to get out of the way and waited until I thought they'd passed. Unfortunately, they didn't "pass" they, made a home in, what we thought, was the eaves of our second story dormer window. Hornet nest sprays didn't have a spray long enough to reach the hive so my husband sent away for a gadget to attach to a pole so that you could reach it. It took a week or more to get to us and by that time, the bees were well ensconced up there. We sprayed and sprayed and nothing helped. We have a pool in our backyard, so having bees diving down for drinks while you're swimming was not good. Enter the Bee Friendly guys. They showed up at 9AM and were there until almost 4 in the afternoon. After looking for accessin our attic and searching the eaves with cameras, it was determined that the only way to find the hive was to lift up part of the roof. Evidently they entered thru the eaves and then traveled along a rafter to where they established their hive. The Bee Friendly guys were 25 feet up on our roof with bees buzzing around their heads until they extracted the hive. They repaired the roof and were on their way. They charge a flat fee for the work but then do whatever it takes to fix the bee problem. Awesome job. Very professional. read more

I was left a bit bummed by this company. It was $450 to remove a nest which they said they would absolutely release in to the wild after removing and only use all natural techniques/ products. The bee guy came and after removing it showed me the nest. When I asked where he was going to take the bees, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "Well, you know, bumble bees really arent useful..." Then he said he had sprayed something around the nest but when I asked if it was harmful to the kids, he said I should keep them away for a few days... which didnt sound all natural to me... Although both the fellow who answered the phone and the one who came were nice, I think I may have paid too much for something that wasnt delivered... read more

Sergio was great! We had a swarm of bees one Saturday afternoon and Sergio was able to come to our house in less than an hour. We were amazed by the quick response on the weekend. Sergio surveyed the situation and determined he didn't think the bees were there to stay and assured us they would not sting us. He said to give him a call if they returned the next day (which they didn't). I highly recommend Sergio if you have any bee troubles. read more

We had a bee invasion into the side of our house through a security camera opening; probably the result of poor caulking upon installation. Techs from the first two bee removal companies didn't know what to do. The 3rd company's tech wanted to saw through the stucco and tear out the camera to get rid of the bees from the outside. Since this seemed costly and too drastic, I found a 4th service (AA Beekeeper) which handles structural invasion problems with bees. Sergio took care of the problem quickly and efficiently, using his 25 years of experience. He then sealed the entry points to avoid future invasions. This service is outstanding! read more

Sergio came by and completed a free estimate. Great service and honest advice. Thank you.

I called at 3 pm I got put on hold to see if they had a technician near within seconds the told me they would send someone before 4 o'clock. Rene showed up.I didn't even tell him where the bees where, once he knocked he had seen the bees and he had a plan by 5 o'clock he was done. all this happened within 2 hours, He did such an amazing job he explained everything, he answered all my questions you guys are awesome and did an amazing job. Thank you so much Rene you are a life saver. Literally a life saver my husband is allergic to bees. Thank you again and I will keep recommending AA beekeeper to all my friends and family. Susie R read more

Sergio has responded to my query promptly. He came to our house same week and finished his job in 2 days. He has done wonderful job removing bee hive and sealing the roof. I found him professional and honest. I will recommend him. read more

Awesome bee service, came out here in 25 minutes, and was all said an done in under an hour! Sergio I must say was very knowledgable and a badass! 27 year beekeeper, he knew exactly what was going on. Highly recommend going to them in need of riding yourself of a bee problem! read more

Came home from a 14 day trip to find a swarm of honey bees made their way into the roof of my 2 story home. They were entering via the small vent holes. I contacted AA Beekeepers based on the yelp reviews. As everyone knows, this is a busy time for the bees. Please be prepared that your appointment may get pushed out if another bee emergency occurs. When Rene' arrived, he was incredible. He initially investigated the situation and shared his extensive knowledge of bees with me and provided options for resolving the situation. I was amazed at the extent of the beehive already developed in that short of time. We proceeded to smoke out the bees and have Rene' bee proof the area. I would definitely recommend this company to any one. Cheers read more

This review is six months late; however, I just wanted to get it out here. I was completely satisfied with AA BeeKeeper. In January of this year I called because I had bees coming out of my roof from my second story. Sergio came the next morning. We weren't sure how bad it was but he said he would check it out and let me know. He put something in through one of holes. At first nothing happened, and he said the bees might have left. I told him I knew bees were up there. So, instead of leaving, he waited and eventually a few bees came out. He asked us to go inside so we wouldn't risk being stung. He suited up and did his thing. All of a sudden the bees all started coming out. (We watched from an upstairs window.) Once the bees were gone, he meshed up all the openings to the front of the house. I was very impressed with Sergio's professionalism. I also love that this company wants to save the bees and not destroy them. Thank you AA Beekeeper! read more

Sergio was awesome! I called him about a ridiculous bee swarm under our roof eaves and he came out the next day for a free inspection. He was very knowledgeable and you can tell he has been in this business for a long time! The following day, he came out to remove the beehives, repair our roof and bee-proof all 64 vent holes to prevent the bees from coming back. I was told that the bees had been there for about a month and there were ~40-50lbs of them!! I am terrified of bees and so to know that they had been on my roof for that long, really grossed me out. It was very important to me that someone could come out ASAP to remove them and do a thorough job so I don't have this problem ever again. Sergio was that person! Very honest, reliable and super easy to work with. He was quick to answer all my questions and even responded to my texts late in the evening! His prices are also very reasonable. I had a quote from one other company (ProPacific) and he was able to beat them and provided a far better/quicker service. He also has a pest control company (separate from the bee service) that I used for a bird nesting problem and I'm currently using his company to spray the exterior of my house/yard to prevent bugs from entering the house. Overall, I am very happy with the service and would highly recommend him for all your pest/bee problems. Thank you Sergio!! read more
